Lest you bury Vince McMahon and WWE Creative for all of their booking decisions, do not forget that, first and foremost, AJ Styles is one of WWE's top Superstars. He was pretty much the face of SmackDown Live for the last few years. So much so, that SmackDown Live was known as 'the house that AJ Styles built.'
Because he's a multiple-time WWE Champion already, I would even dare say that he's a much bigger star than Ricochet. And so even though it is not ideal that Ricochet lost a match immediately after winning a Championship, he didn't lose it to a pushover. Had he lost to No Way Jose, it would have been a problem.

Losing to AJ Styles is acceptable because of the way he's been presented. And it could lead to a lot of compelling television in the weeks that will follow.
